Appliance Fault Codes

What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Miele washing machine F10 error code

F10 means water inlet fault. The water inlet is blocked or restricted — no water is reaching the tub, or the flow is too slow.

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Check the stopcock (tap) behind the machine is fully open.
  2. Clean the inlet filter in the hose nut: turn off the stopcock, unscrew the hose, clean the filter, reconnect.

Call a professional when…

If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
